Cuvaison’s 2021 Los Carneros Pinot Noir shows vibrancy, weight and silky texture. This has some Carneros crushed rock mineral notes and some stemmy character that props up black cherry and damp earth aromas and flavors. There is a big finish push, and some grip adds to the perception of length. Steve Rogstad’s team impresses yet again.
